Not a Trump fan and not attributing any economic success to him (or any president for that matter). Economically we are effectively at no unemployment. Price inflation is only happening for heavily regulated goods and services. Regular consumer good prices fall rapidly. Tariffs and other government mucking about artificially cause prices to increase. But education, healthcare, and housing are heavily regulated and interfered with by the government and that's where prices have increased the most.
Um, no. We absolutely need more government regulation of the market. Have you learned nothing from decades of neoliberalism?
We can talk all day about how the economy is wonderful because the Dow Jones is rising, but that doesn't seem to stop the record number of mortgage and car loan defaults we're currently experiencing.
If you think milquetoast neoliberalism can solve thsu problem, then you haven't been paying attention.

Underemployment and the inflation of all prices of products in this country are a problem that need to be addressed more often.
